Ingredients

Preparation

1

Season pork with cumin, oregano, salt. Sear all sides in lard.

2

Add orange juice, lime, garlic, onion. Cover tightly.

3

Braise at 150°C for 3.5-4 hours.

When a fork slides through like butter, it's done.

4

Shred the meat. Spread on a sheet pan.

5

Broil 5 minutes until edges get crispy and caramelized.

This step is what separates good from legendary.

6

Serve on warm tortillas. That's it.
